Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about playing and winning.

Guess the NBA Player is a daily basketball trivia game where you have six attempts to guess the correct NBA player from their photo. After each guess, you'll receive color-coded hints to help you identify the player.

You win by correctly guessing the NBA player within 6 tries. Green tiles indicate a correct letter in the correct position, while yellow tiles mean the letter is in the player's name but in the wrong position.

The difficulty varies day by day. Some players are current superstars and easy to identify, while others are from past eras or lesser-known players. You can enable 'Hall of Fame Mode' for an extra challenge with legendary players.

The daily challenge features one new NBA player each day. However, there are practice modes and archives available where you can play unlimited puzzles to improve your player knowledge.

If you fail to guess the player in 6 tries, the game ends and the correct NBA player is revealed along with interesting facts about their career. Don't worry! A new challenge is available the next day to try again.
